<p>It does look pretty cool when it worked. I did see some people were removing a plastic screencover that they were not supposed to (and nothing saying that they should not remove).</p><p><br></p><p>Personally I will wait for Gen 2 before considering.

<blockquote><em><a href="#421694">In reply to wright_is:</a></em></blockquote><p>When I sell laptops to older-generation people, sometimes they expect a manual. I have a standard response: "I don't know of any computer makers that ship manuals anymore. All they'll have is a paper in 8 different languages telling you not to eat the device. The manual's on their website, I'll download and print it for you."</p>
